Reminds me of my Aunt Edna; happened in about 1934 (I've posted the long version before, probably on KL). short version: She was married to a drunk........who was off on a drunk. She and her 2 sons (about 2 and 4 years old) had planted an early Spring garden and were resting on the front porch.

It was/could only be her parents. She only had corn meal in the house and knew her parents would be staying for dinner (lunch). She didn't want them to know how poorly she was faring, so she and her boys went back into the garden and dug up the just-planted potatoes, to have for dinner.
